The Co-operative Food - Convenience store - London (GB)

WHY IS THIS SHOP INTERESTING TO VIEW?

With a food store in every UK postal area, The Co-operative Food is a convenience retailer at the heart of the communities in which it trades.

This Co-op’s store model combines a supermarket- and convenience store and is designed to appeal to customers shopping for their main evening meal and features an increased food-to-go offer. This store features zoning, food to go and a range of ready meals for same-day dining.

There is also a highly targeted range of predominantly fresh foods for grab and go meal preparation. The stores feature new branding and signage, an improved bakery offer and a stand called ‘Make a Meal of it’ which groups products together to suggest evening meals together with drinks and ‘extras’.

With a coffee machine, seating area, hot food and a comprehensive chilled food-to-range, the section makes the store a compelling breakfast and lunchtime destination, backed up by some attractive pricing and meal-deal discounts.

The checkout area provides both manned and card-only self-checkouts. Beyond the checkouts is the familiar Co-op fixture of the Day-Glo Amazon Locker.
